    If you have to run power to it, you might as well run some data as well. Never really the best idea to have mission critical equipment at the mercy of a congested wifi network.

      A lot of the new systems can use battery powered cameras that are motion activated - they can last for a month+ on battery because they only turn fully on when they detect motion.

      You’re right though - if it’s mission critical don’t rely on wireless.

        Have wireless setup, works really well. If they want it that bad they can have it while I’m gone or risk their life while I’m there.

          If you don’t care about your stuff, why would your risk your life to risk their lives? Lol

            If it were me, I wouldn’t be as worried if I wasn’t there to lose stuff. If I was there I would be concerned with violence against me or my family. Not concerned with stuff but very concerned with safety.
